Seven of Cups 1 comment

19 Oct 2005 @ 04:36, by Uncle Remus Divinatory Meaning: Dreams, castles in the air. Illusionary success. Selfish dissipation; deception. Reversed: Good resolutions. Slight success must be followed up. New will and determination. "We do not like always moving in the river, so we dig a hole and make a tiny little pool along the edge to get out of the ceaseless flow. Not a living pool, full of vital processes, cycles of new growth and decay, but completely stagnant: so sheltered and protected that it becomes static; the life goes out of it, the living thoughts and feeling die. Certainly it is safe and secure... We have created such insulation betwen the whole of life and ourselves---not just a thin membrane, but a whole suit of armor---because we do not want to face impermanence and experience suffering, especially the suffering of others." ---Dennis Genpo Merzel: The Eye Never Sleeps This illustration of the 7 of cups Tarot card (above) is from the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck®, known also as the Rider Tarot and the Waite Tarot.
